“Brazil is safer and more welcoming today. We have just extended visa exemptions to countries such as the United States, Japan, Australia and Canada, and we are currently considering the adoption of similar measures for China and India, among others.

The Amazon is not being destroyed nor consumed by fire, as the media is falsely portraying. Each one of you may check what I am saying. Do not hesitate to visit Brazil. It is way different than the country portrayed in many newspapers and television shows.”

“Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, countries that have no appreciation for freedom.”

“If I were a cadet in the Agulhas Negras Military Academy and saw you on the street I would whistle at you.”
